And show thou art truly my friend,

Go watch, and to me with intelligence run,

When Johnson and Capell descend.

'For Johnson, with all his mistakes, I must love;

Ev'n love from the injured he gains;

But Capell a comrade for dulness will prove,

And him thou may'st take for thy pains.'"

Edward F. Rimbault.
